The Do Not Pack Box

We talk a lot about making a do not pack box for children. It’s a way to keep their favorite and needed things with them during a move. What about a do not pack box for adults? We need things and we need some comfort objects after a stressful day of moving. Here’s a great list of items to put in your do not pack box.

1. Chargers – phone, computer, iPad or anything you think you may need charged to keep you entertained and in touch with the world.

2. Towels

3. Linens and pillows

4. A change of clothes and shoes, the more comfortable the better!

5. Toiletries such as shampoos, soaps, toothpaste, make up. We suggest enough for a three day trip.

6. Pet Food, you just need enough for a day or two. You may also want to put an extra leash in the box.

7. A manual can opener, because nothing sucks more than wanting to open a can of food when you’re hungry and having nothing to open it with.

8. Your favorite snacks

9. A candle or favorite pictures that will make the place feel like home.
